The next day, Ming Pao excerpted the freedom debate at Long Kong Pavilion last night, and the dehydration essence version was naturally published.

In addition, the news that Princess Changping visited Long Kong Pavilion last night and had a drink with Zhou Shixian was also posted, with the title "Meet at Long Kong Pavilion".

Chongzhen was busy for a day. In addition to national affairs, he was building the Engine Research Institute in the Palace. After everything was busy, he had the opportunity to read the newspaper until the evening. When he read the debate between Longkong Pavilion last night, especially when he read the "adding wine" and the subsequent interactive jokes, Chongzhen couldn't help but burst into laughter.

As for the princess and Zhou Shixian, the paparazzi did not let it go, so there was a gossip news in Ming Pao. Chongzhen of course wanted the princess and Zhou Shixian to fall in love and then choose a date to get married. However, the princess was unwilling to get married in such a hurry. In this situation, it seemed that the princess had to fall in love with Zhou Shixian well before she got married. I don’t know how many years this love lasted. The Ming Dynasty was not the 21st century. It was a teenager who was married in a teenager, but he had to urge his parents to get married. But he could do whatever the princess love. Maybe one or two years later, the ripe ripe and the princess had the idea of ​​getting married. Then let the ministers discuss the memorials and then let the princess get married, which would happen naturally.

However, Chongzhen was a little puzzled. Can a noisy place like Longkongge be used as a date location?

It is impossible not to say that young men and women have no soft environment in the Ming Dynasty. Because of the orders of parents and the words of the matchmaker, most people can only get married first and then fall in love. At the same time, the hardware facilities of the Ming Dynasty are also very bad. Even if they can fall in love freely, young men and women can hardly find any romantic dating places.

Having said that, although Long Kong Pavilion is a little quarrel, it can bring joy and relax. If you have some wine and drink it, well, especially this low-grade seasoned medicinal wine, it will add a romantic mood like a couple in later generations. Chongzhen then planned to take Yang Wan to Long Kong Pavilion to relax on one day, while drinking together, listening to the nonsense or witty words in the venue, and then have a beautiful scenery. Wouldn't it be a pleasure!

Chongzhen suddenly thought again, what if he went to Longkong Pavilion with Jiang Shangyun, wouldn't that girl run on stage to discuss the battle? Well, maybe she would really run on stage. He would say he didn't care about Jiang Shangyun, and he would think of her from time to time, and he would care. He had some kind of resistance to a woman like Jiang Shangyun. This time, Wang Chengen transferred Jiang Shangyun to the Engine Research Institute, and waited for the engine laboratory in the palace to be completed, and he could see that girl every day.

I remember that there are still ministers who are still choosing concubines for themselves. If there are so many concubines, I can’t handle them.

While reading the newspaper, Chongzhen was thinking about it. After browsing the Ming Pao, he looked at the "Reference News" again. The "Reference News" reported that Zhang Xianzhong was attacking Manila. He had the information source of the pigeon system. Of course, he had known this a long time ago. Another thing is that Li Zicheng was decorating the palace, and this decoration plan was designed by the people he sent. Li Zicheng is not short of money now, but he is mostly buying cement and glass. As long as he is willing to spend money to build a "Heaven Palace" on earth, he will let him do it.

After reading these two newspapers, Chongzhen picked up today's "Inner Reference". The system of "Inner Reference" in later generations is still good. Some information that is not suitable for disclosure can be written as Inner Reference. Then Chongzhen added a channel to speak. Yes, the Jinyiwei can collect intelligence and the information collected is omnipotent, but the Jinyiwei lacks the ability to analyze in depth. Although Chongzhen is searching for talents in this field, it is still a long way from Chongzhen's requirements. The literati who wrote "Inner Reference" has the ability to analyze and interpret in depth. Of course, the Jinyiwei is the Jinyiwei, and the literati who wrote "Inner Reference" is a literati who plays a pen, and the two cannot be compared.

When I opened "Inner Reference", Chongzhen was attracted by a title. The title of this article was "What is the reason for the Ming Dynasty from prosperity to decline?"

Chongzhen thought, I also want to know this issue. Various historians and experts from later generations have argued this issue from various angles. Some say it was caused by land annexation, some say it was caused by the abolition of the Ming Taizu Wei, some say it was caused by the party struggles of the Donglin Party, and some say it was caused by Emperor Wanli's disregard for the government. The natural disaster argument attributed the decline of the Ming Dynasty to God. The climate of the Little Ice Age killed people and caused the decline of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, there are some other arguments, such as foreign trade imbalances leading to negative economic growth, deflation and inflation acting at the same time, leading to the decline of the Ming Dynasty. Some people have put forward the cyclical theory-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is how the article begins:

"At that time, some people were in Longkong Pavilion, and the guests were in full swing, with false statements and witty words. The crowd clamored for them, and the joy could not be described in writing.

Some people say: Li Zicheng recovered stolen money and helped pay in Beijing, and forced himself to plunder more than 60,000 taels of silver. This move is no different from the bandits. The defeat of the Ming Dynasty was not because of him, but because of the rampant bandits.

However, this statement is wrong!

More than 600,000 taels of silver are not too huge, nor too shocking! The reason why people in the world are shocked is that such huge silver is so difficult to carry a cart. The number of them is huge. If they carry a four-wheeled carriage, they may not be able to carry it without thousands or tens of thousands. This is not something we can imagine.

But tracing the origin, all the silver is taken from the families of Beijing officials, which is even more shocking!

If there is no skill in taking advantage of the situation, how could it be possible to gather more than 60,000 taels of silver in the family of officials?

What I felt was that the wealth of the world gathered in the family of officials lies in the rule of officials. The disaster of the rule of officials was the source of the decline of the Ming Dynasty.

This man also talked about Qi Jiguang's gifts and gifts. Chongzhen thought that Qi Jiguang gave Zhang Juzheng "the daughter of a daughter" and was a pioneer in sexual bribery. In this person's words, the administration of the Ming Dynasty in the Jiajing Dynasty had reached a point of hopelessness. By the time Zhang Juzheng was the chief minister, bribery and bribery had reached an outrageous level, otherwise there would be no joke that the Wanli period could count 56 million people.

When Chongzhen saw this, he felt that it made some sense. As soon as he thought, he asked someone to find the princess and handed the article to the princess:

"If you look at this article, it is best to find the person who wrote this article. I want to see what kind of person he is."

The princess looked it and said:

"This article is well written. This article reminds us that the decline of Rome in history is exactly the same. Rome declined because of its depravity, extravagance and indulgence. "The bureaucratic system has the highest power and is not subject to any supervision implemented by basic members of the state, so it becomes very corrupt and dishonest... Bribery is common, illegal fishing is accustomed to it, and attempts to adopt a system of secret reconnaissance and mutual supervision of officials to stop this phenomenon is futile. Every time the quota of officials is increased, every time the troop of supervisors is expanded.

Wu, the result was only an increase in the number of people who made a living by bribery.’ This is the hopeless Rome. No one can defeat Rome, but Rome defeated itself! The same is true for the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty could sweep the Mongols, but eventually defeated itself. How did it defeat it? That is, **. When the entire administration was hopeless, even the army was finally defeated. Let me ask, what resistance does the Ming Dynasty have! As long as there is external force or internal strife, it will fall down. So, this person is right, the Ming Dynasty was rotten by itself!"

The princess sighed and said:

"Alas! The administration of the Ming Dynasty was only slowly changed and reshuffled by accelerating industrialization. To eliminate the administration of the government, even Zhu Yuanzhang, who was killed like a lot, would not even mention us. However, Li Zicheng's administration is already in a state of great difficulty at the beginning, and we don't even need to instigate and fuel the fire."

Just imagine, Zhu Yuanzhang's punishment of corrupt officials was cruel. He could not stop corruption even if he skinned corrupt officials. Chongzhen said solemnly:

"Yes, every dynasty basically collapses itself. Of course, we have to add fuel to Li Zicheng's **tub and make it collapse faster. Hey, Jinjiu can also be pushed open in Beijing. It is best to make a platinum version of Jinjiu so that Dashun Army can drink it with great pleasure."

Chongzhen said this with some basis. After Li Zicheng's subordinates arrived in Beijing, a group of generals and officials became obsessed with women, debauchery and indulged in lust. Jinjiu will definitely become popular in Beijing. Of course, Jinjiu will have to be a hardcover version when you come to Beijing. Making money is one of them, and promoting Li Zicheng's extravagance is the second.

When the princess heard this, she laughed:

"When talking about Jinjiu, the story of Zhu Shugui in Longkongge last night was better than the endorsement advertisement. He was unintentionally inserting willows, which caused Jinjiu sales to increase significantly today. What's even more ridiculous is that all the ducks on the market were bought out today, and many people asked for a duck but couldn't get it. Haha, I'm so laughing to death."

Chongzhen remembered that there was a period of time when so-called experts praised "mung bean health care", which led to mung bean sales. He thought that such ridiculous things happened every period, which shows how ridiculous the public's blind obedience is.
